The researchers' findings, reported in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, which involve radial spoke 3 (RS3), help answer some fundamental questions about how motile cilia work and could ...

In recent years, researchers have been learning more about why cellular antennas called cilia are so important. Cilia can act as sensors of the cell's environment and can send and receive signals.

One of the wonders of cell biology is its symmetry. Mammalian cells have one nucleus and one cell membrane, and most humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Trillions of mammalian cells achieve this ...

A historically overlooked rod-like projection present on nearly every cell type in the human body may finally be getting its scientific due: A new study has found that these appendages, called cilia, ...

The film discusses the anatomical and functional significance of the nose, throat, and ears from a medical perspective. It explains how the nose functions as an air passage that warms and filters ...

Researchers studied the larvae of the marine rag worm Platynereis, and  used whole-body high-speed imaging to examine the wave behaviour, and the effects of various physical and biological ...
